Are you looking for a smartwatch that’s durable enough for the type of activities you do? Wait no further as Amazfit T-Rex Pro is coming to the Philippines.

Designed for Outdoors

The T-Rex Pro is a smartwatch that’s built to last even in the harshest climate conditions — humid rainforests, super-dry deserts, you name ’em. Not only it is shock-resistant, it’s also water-resistant with a grade of 10 ATM. To make it better, the smartwatch can last up to 18 days in a single charge.

It has a 1.3-inch AMOLED display that’s clear and colorful enough when exposed to the bright sunlight. Its design should be attractive enough for any sports enthusiast especially with its metal-sprayed outer bezel and silicone strap that repels sweat as well.

Just in case you get lost in the wilderness, it supports four global navigation satellite systems as well as a compass to help you track location even in challenging environments. There’s also a barometric altimeter that records one’s elevation after a climb.

It even has a weather tracker that can monitor sunrise and sunsets as well as display the current moon phase.

Your Personal Trainer

The Amazfit T-Rex Pro has 100 different sports mode for you to choose. It can track your heart rate, distance, speed, burned calories, and even your blood-oxygen saturation so you won’t miss a chance of getting fitter every single day.

There’s also an Amazfit-exclusive feature called Firstbeat algorithm that assesses data such as your maximum oxygen update, full recovery time, training load, among other progresses and accomplishments. In addition to that, there’s ExerSense algorithm which automatically recognizes eight sports modes and records all related data.

Moreover, the Amazfit T-Rex Pro is also equipped with BioTracker 2 PPG — an optical sensor. Not only it records precise heart rate monitor, it also alerts you if your heart rate gets too high. It’s also responsible for tracking HRV (heart rate variability) so that it can record your response to stress.

There are more health-related features that await you such as PAI (Personal Activitiy Intelligence) health assessment system. There’s SomnusCare sleep-quality monitoring feature as well for recognizing one’s sleep states and breathing problems when asleep.

Pricing and Availability

The Amazfit T-Rex Pro comes in three color options including Meteorite Black, Desert Grey, and Steel Blue.

It will be available for pre-order starting on September 1, 2021 with a retail price of PhP 8,090 through its official Shopee and Lazada stores. Units will rollout two days after the pre-order date. The first 100 buyers will receive a Yi 1080p Dome Camera.

It’s available on all major platforms.

Last year was the year of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the franchise’s first Japan-themed entry. This year, however, the series is coming back to the one of its most popular worlds outside of Japan: pirates. Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is now available on all major platforms.

Set during the Golden Age of Piracy, Black Flag Resynced brings players back into the boots of Edward Kenway, a vagabond pirate turned assassin. As he navigates the mysterious battle between Assassins and Templars, he travels the entire Caribbean and meets iconic pirates like Blackbeard and Anne Bonny.

This time, the 2013 game has been reengineered from the ground up using the latest Anvil engine. Besides amazing graphics, the remake has updated combat, new characters, and more narrative content.

Starting today, players can get Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Ubisoft Store, Ubisoft+, Steam, and Epic Games Store.

The Deluxe Edition packs the digital-only edition with the Master Assassin Character Pack and the Master Assassin Naval Pack. Meanwhile, the Collector’s Edition includes the Deluxe Edition and a catalog of physical goodies (Edward’s Figurine, an Edward wearable metal brooch, an exclusive SteelBook, a cloth map).

New leak reveals first look at Samsung’s wide foldable

It looks like there’s only one book-style foldable this year.

Coming in just a heartbeat, Samsung will unveil the next foldables during the upcoming Unpacked event. The spotlight, naturally, lands on the rumored wide foldable. Now, we don’t have an official look yet, but a new leak is spoiling that for us.

Leaked by Android Headlines, the upcoming foldable, purportedly named the Galaxy Z Fold 8, looks as advertised. The brand’s first wide foldable takes a few inches off the top to deliver a, literally, wide resolution for more display real estate.

There’s not much to say about the specs, but the model does have a camera setup with two shooters. It will also be available in three colorway options: black, white, and lavender. A limited-edition green variant might also make an appearance.

Among the scheduled devices this coming Unpacked, the wide foldable is the main event. Plus, the new leak reveals that a regular Fold isn’t debuting with this batch. Rather, Samsung might go all-in on the wide foldable format.

If that’s not your style, the leak also unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 8. The new model doesn’t look different from the usual Flips that we’re used to, so it’s not a big headline.
